Wait till you hear about the numbers they're throwing around inside Facebook.

Last night, we heard from two industry sources close to top Facebook execs that these days, when the company hires you, you're told the goal is to turn Facebook into the world's first TRILLION dollar company.

I actually think it's possible... If they don't fuck it up on the way.

1. They probably can attain 3-4 billion users once more people in Asia & Africa own smartphones. That's to say within the next 3 years at most.

2. With their knowing of people's habits and information, they will become the world's largest ad network, surpassing Google.

3. Talking about Google, more and more people use Facebook as their homepage. They'll end up searching from Facebook - probably equaling or surpassing Google.

4. My personal intuition is that they'll be the leaders of cloud computing. In ten years, you won't own a computer anymore. You'll have connected screens all around and will just log in to them with your Facebook account. Your data will be stored on Facebook's servers. Don't say you don't want your data being stored away - you are already putting up all your pics on Facebook! And, how convenient would it be? Imagine going to the gym, logging in on the screen and having all your media. In the train, planes, cars or at anyone's place? Nothing can beat this.

5. From that point, they'll lead the entire computing industry. From the ads to the software. Apple might finally have to stop making software then! And they'll hit a 1 trillion USD valuation. Or more...

Nothing can stop Facebook at the moment. But nothing could stop Google few years ago (I thought they would be the ones doing what Facebook is about to do). So, whether it's Facebook or another company, someone is going to do what I described and reach a trillion dollars market cap.
